About this ebook
Everything Jesus did and accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection was done for you.
Many live and die never grasping the significance or experiencing the full blessing and benefits of what Jesus did for them when He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. In Jesus Did It For You, Greg Texada clearly identifies what Jesus did for you personally. Jesus was made sin so you could have right standing with God. Jesus was made a curse so the blessing of Abraham would be yours. Jesus became poor so you could be free from poverty and live the abundant life. Jesus was beaten so you could be healed, healthy, and strong. Jesus carried your sorrows so you could have fullness of joy and peace. Jesus died for you so you could have eternal, everlasting, abundant life.
These and many other blessings and benefits are freely given to you by the Lord and available for you to receive and enjoy now.
Learn how to receive and enjoy the inheritance of blessings that have been freely given to you by the Lord.

Acknowledgment
I give my highest praise and thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ, who has given me purpose and a reason to live. I am amazed by His marvelous grace, patience, and tender mercy. This year I celebrated my 30th birthday as a born again Christian. On the day of my salvation, Satan told me that I would not last two weeks as a Christian. I am glad I did not believe his lies. Jesus, thanks for finding me on March 14, 1982, in a dormitory room at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. You gave me life that day, and I am forever grateful. Thanks for all the things you did for me and continue to do. Thanks for the love and power you have shown me over the years. I look forward to eternity with you. You still have my heart.
I also want to thank my beautiful wife and sweetheart of 28 years, Celeste. Thanks for believing in me and trusting me with your heart. Thank you for the constant encouragement you have given me and for standing with me in the most difficult times of my life. You are more Precious
to me today than the day I said, I do
at the altar. Celeste, I love and appreciate you. I am looking forward to many more years of fruitful service together! We fight till we win!
I also thank God for blessing me with two incredible children, Gabriel and Treasure. They have handled the journey of faith well. Both of you will do extraordinary things with the Lord. Continue to pursue your dreams, and remember that with God, all things are possible.
Everything Jesus did, He did for you, for your benefit. He is alive and seated at the right hand of God in heaven, having secured for you eternal redemption from sin and an inheritance of lifetime blessings
now and forever.
Chapter 1
line.jpgJesus Did It For You!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17
This Scripture is a revelation of God’s love, grace, wisdom, and power. It demonstrates His desire to save everyone from eternal damnation and give everlasting life to anyone who will believe the good news about Jesus Christ. God loves you so much that He gave Jesus Christ so you would not perish (be lost, ruined, or destroyed) but have everlasting life. This is the gospel in a nutshell.
The Apostle Paul said, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth
(Romans 1:16). He also stated that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are lost, but to those who are saved it is the power of God. Jesus laid down His life and died for you when He went to the cross. He was buried in a tomb that was heavily guarded by Roman soldiers, but on the third day, God raised Him from the dead. Jesus Christ is alive! He is not dead. He rose again with all authority, dominion, and power in His hands. He is the only Potentate (supreme ruler). He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last, which is, and which was, and which is to the come, the Almighty.
And when I saw him [Jesus], I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:17-18
Many people live and die and never understand the significance of His life. They never experience the full benefit of what Jesus did for them when He gave His life on the cross. What happened to Jesus when He went to the cross? What did He experience? Why was the cross necessary? What did He obtain for you by dying? It is more than meets the natural eye. So few ever take advantage of and walk in the blessings that have been provided for them through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians 1:3
God sent Jesus Christ to obtain your salvation so He could bless you with every heavenly blessing. Everything Jesus did, He did for you, for your benefit. He is alive and seated at the right hand of God in heaven, having secured for you eternal redemption from sin and an inheritance of lifetime
